    About Balneario ISSSTehuixtla

    The Centro Recreativo y Cultural ISSSTEHuixtla, at Avenida de la Fundición s/n, colonia Guadalupe, Tehuixtla, in the municipality of Jojutla, stands on the site of the old La Fundición balneario, which passed to the ISSSTE in 1980. Although the institute runs it, it is not only for members: the general public is admitted, at different rates.

    The sulphur water rises from a borbollón, a spring about 9 m deep, that feeds the pools, and the overflow drops as a waterfall into the Amacuzac River. Sources count between five and six pools: the monumental one with the waterfall, a children's splash pool, the Los Amates pool and a diving pit with 3 m and 5 m platforms. Two 157 m water slides are also advertised, though a 2017 review said they were not working, so ask whether they are running. There are sports courts, more than 15,000 m² of lawns, a restaurant, a shop, changing rooms and lockers, a camping zone with toilets and showers, and cabins for four or six people. No source publishes the water temperature.

    In September 2024 flooding damaged the complex; it reopened in December 2024 and 11 cabins were restored in the repairs. It opens 365 days a year, 9:00 to 18:00, with the last tickets sold at 16:30. The 2026 entry is 131 pesos for the general public, 87 for ISSSTE members, and 69 for children up to 12, students and INAPAM cardholders; ISSSTE retirees and pensioners enter free with their card, and the first camping night for the public is about 270 pesos and includes entry.

    How to get to Balneario ISSSTehuixtla

    Drive from Cuernavaca: 45 min, 48 km

    By car from Mexico City, take the Autopista del Sol (México–Acapulco, 95D). About 15 km past the Alpuyeca toll booth, exit toward Tehuixtla–Tequesquitengo and follow the signs along the road toward Tilzapotla; the centre is beside the La Fundición bridge over the Amacuzac River. Escapadah estimates 2.5 to 3 hours from the capital and ADN40 about 2 hours, depending on traffic.

    By bus, go to Terminal Sur (Taxqueña) and take one to Jojutla; from there a combi or shared taxi runs toward Tehuixtla–Tilzapotla (Jojutla's Ruta 8 also works) and passes near the entrance. Tehuixtla belongs to the municipality of Jojutla, a few kilometres from the town itself; Tlaltizapán, the nearest listed pueblo, is about 21 km away in a straight line, and Iguala, in Guerrero, about 36 km in a straight line. The centre's phones are 734 341 0221 and 734 341 0222.
